Faculty/Staff/Students will be guided through a setup process. For many devices, you will need to download and run a “JoinNow” client, which automatically configures the appropriate wireless settings for the "bloomu-secure" network and will notify you of any known issues with your device's current configuration.

Guests will have the opportunity to create a temporary guest account to gain internet access on the "bloomu" network.

Gaming and Media Devices

All gaming and media devices must be enrolled before they can be used on the wireless network or residence hall wired networks. See the Device Enrollment page for details.

Guest Access

Guest access is available using the "bloomu" wireless network.
